RElics were not the only gear with stats like that. AF gear in 1.0 had great job bonus stats(it was of course harder to get than it is now). IE: BRDs AF gave boosts to songs for more potency or length of time(when songs were not linked to MP but just had a set time length). Speaking of which, I miss the BRDs of old because despite not being wanted anywhere endgame, our utility was more thought out.
